The online run, hosted on the vRace sports platform, opened for registration on 25/12 with no distance limits. Unlike events requiring specific goal completion, this anniversary event focuses on acknowledging participants' ongoing support. Runners only need to complete registration and run validly according to regulations; there is no minimum distance requirement to receive the merchandise.
The organizing committee announced that the limited-edition merchandise collection includes a T-shirt, singlet, running jacket, and cap, primarily in navy blue and neon green. The design symbolizes the runner's journey of evolution and serves as a tribute to the community that has supported the platform since its inception in 2020.

The organizing committee states that the T-shirt and singlet in the collection are made from recycled fabric, weighing under 50g, and utilize seamless laser cutting technology to minimize friction during activity. The material is breathable, sweat-wicking, quick-drying, offers uv protection, and limits odor, making it suitable for daily training, long-distance runs, and high-intensity competitions.
The running jacket is designed for changing weather conditions, using a polyester-spandex blend that balances warmth, breathability, and stretch. "The product is wind-resistant, quick-drying, and adapts to body movement, helping runners maintain performance across various terrains and activity intensities," a vRace representative said.
The baseball cap features a curved brim and integrated mesh. The items are available for individual purchase or as a combo, with delivery expected from 1/2/2026.
vRace launched in 2020, a period when offline running events paused due to the pandemic. The initial events aimed to connect and encourage the community to stay active during social distancing. Subsequently, the platform expanded into corporate events, becoming a tool for internal engagement and promoting employee activity. To date, vRace has supported over 200 events, ranging from a few hundred to tens of thousands of participants.

The year 2024 marked a turning point as vRace introduced its first runs featuring merchandise. These custom-designed product sets became collectible items, paving the way for many new themed events in 2025, from Tet (Lunar New Year) and festive seasons to charity runs. For fundraising events, every kilometer completed by a runner converts into a contribution for individuals in difficult circumstances.
According to the organizing committee, vRace's current success is due to the support of its runner community. The initial runners from 2020 continue to participate in current events. Hundreds of businesses have maintained their own annual runs.
"This motivates us to continue developing more culturally and festively themed events, charity runs, and highly collectible merchandise sets next year," a vRace representative stated.
Runners can register for the event and find more instructions on the vRace website.
